3 biggest reasons the NY Giants have not been successful this season

Coaching Staff:

The number one thing that is dooming this team, has been the horrible job done by the coaching staff.

We’ll start with offensive coordinator Jason Garrett.

There are several moments throughout every game where it seems that he does not know what he was doing. Garrett’s play calls don’t make sense, the way he utilizes the players doesn’t make sense, nothing he does make sense.

Since Garrett joined the NY Giants in 2020, the NY Giants rank 30th in points per drive and have gone 24 games without scoring 30+ points.

This is mostly due to Garrett’s horrific play calling on 3rd down and in the red zone. Far too often does Garrett try to run a screen or a very short pass on 3rd and distance situations.

Garrett also attempts fade routes far too often in the end zone when the NY Giants simply do not have the personnel to run that play.

Garrett has also been known for painfully misusing his players this season.

For example, it took Garrett five weeks and multiple injuries to the receiving core to finally utilize Kadarius Toney properly. With how good Toney has looked since healthy this was a major mistake.

Garrett also does not properly use Kyle Rudolph in the end zone nearly as often as he should. prompting to use him on fade routes as opposed to short passes or those back of the end zone catches that Rudolph is so known for.

Now, onto Joe Judge.

When the NY Giants originally hired Joe Judge in 2020 it was easy to be excited, especially following his introductory press conference. It finally seemed like the NY Giants were going to have some culture change. Boy was that not the case.

Judge this year has simply been awful. For a coach who preaches wanting to have a disciplined team, the team sure is undisciplined. With there being multiple inexcusable penalties called against the NY Giants this season, the team is not nearly as disciplined as Judge says they should be.

Another huge issue with Judge has been his inability to properly use his timeouts.

This has become a major issue this season that has cost the NY Giants big time. This was very apparent in the NY Giants most recent loss against the Chiefs where Judge blew 2 out of his 3 timeouts in the 4th quarter of a tied game before the Chiefs even went on their game-winning drive.

Because of the NY Giants had no timeouts to use during their attempt at a game-winning drive, they were doomed.
